[0:01] A sad discovery in Massachusetts.

[0:03] Searchers find the body of the boy who

[0:05] disappeared in a blizzard three days

[0:07] ago. An invasion threat by Israel after

[0:09] Hezbollah gorillas kill Israeli soldiers

[0:11] in Lebanon. And how a war over bananas

[0:14] in Europe could double the price for

[0:16] things we buy here.

[0:19] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:23] with John Roberts.

[0:26] Hey, good evening. Johnny's on

[0:27] assignment tonight. I'm Russ Mitchell.

[0:29] After a three-day massive effort by

[0:31] parents and police, there's a tragic end

[0:33] in the search for a 9-year-old

[0:35] Massachusetts boy who disappeared in a

[0:37] blinding snowstorm last week. Today, the

[0:39] body of the boy, Cory Anderson, was

[0:41] found. And tonight, police are hoping an

[0:43] autopsy will help them find out how he

[0:45] died. Christian Janette Meyers has more.

[0:50] >> Rescue workers had to use canoes and

[0:52] make their way through a nearly

[0:54] impenetrable swamp area to reach the

[0:56] body of Cory Anderson. just 300 yards

[0:59] from his home in Norton, Massachusetts.

[1:02] >> Our plan was to uh check any areas we

[1:05] could uh along the river as it narrowed.

[1:08] >> The recovery team found the 9-year-old's

[1:10] body curled in a ball 15 ft away from

[1:12] the water on the bank of the Malberry

[1:15] Brook.

[1:15] >> There's like outcroppings of trees in

[1:17] the swamp and he was laying on his left

[1:20] side in an outcropping

[1:23] uh trying to get out of the water.

[1:26] um

[1:27] trying to stay dry.

[1:30] For an adult to get to that area, you

[1:32] would have to crawl on your hands and

[1:34] knees.

[1:35] >> It was a tragic ending to the massive

[1:37] effort underway since the fourth grader

[1:39] disappeared last Thursday. T
